What's Your Favorite Video Game?

[jason18]

Hey everybody,

I recently caught a few ads on Spike TV for their upcoming Video Game Awards (it airs Dec. 14th but I'm not sure what time, check out their website if you want) and thought to start this thread to see who everyone thinks should win the award for game of the year. Maybe we could tally up the replies here and then compare them to which game actually wins that night? It might be cool too to send these results to Spike TV after we're done, especially if our favorites aren't on their list. So I'm going to dig around and try to find a way to contact them too.

Here's this year's choices from Spike's website (if you don't agree, just put down your favorite):

Burnout 3: Takedown (Electronic Arts)
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Rockstar Games)
Half-Life 2 (Vivendi Universal Games)
Halo 2 (Microsoft Game Studios)
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Konami)

Also, what's your all-time favorite? (I'm predicting Super Mario Brothers and CS will top the list here.)

Thanks everyone and I'll keep you posted on who wins in case you won't catch it.

Jason

Weren't there horrible games awarded for last year's Spike TV Videogame Awards? I'm too lazy to dig up info on it, but I think I remember how it was biased towards certain developers and genres.

Some fav classic games and series I really liked,
Double Dragon
Mario Tennis
Street Fighter (only the ones up to PS1, like Zero/Alpha and VS.)
Point Blank
Captain Tsubasa (SNES ones only, the PS1 sucked )

and some others... I can't think right now

From the list you posted, i'll have to settle with GTA:SA 👍

Apparently TOCA: Race Drive was one of the worst racing games ever made. Are you sure u dont mean #2?

 

[PublicSecrecy]

all gta series (excluding london) and starwars battlefront and Timesplitters 2.

y excluding London? If anything it should be excluding #2. GTA:2 was just plain gay. "No donation, no salvation!"
Sorry for the DP.

 

[213101]

i think starwars battlefront is the best game in history waayy better than halo 2.

I actually really enjoyed Toca Race Driver and the second version.

 

[Whitetee32]

GT Series and GTA:SA

 

[eddieturner2002]

My top games

PC-
Monkey Island 1 and 2

Wow, I've finally heard someone other than me mention one of these games on GTP. Monkey Island 2 would take my vote (great intro + soundtrack) along with Zak McKraken or Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Also Lemmings 1 or 2. Those games really had hours and hours of playtime, great punchlines and complex storylines (except for Lemmings) and they are still easy playable now with the old pixel art graphics. True classics, they really don't make them like they used to.

Did you have duck hunt? That rocked too!

Did you have the laser shot-gun?

 

[Powripper]

I see lots of lists include Zelda, Ocarina of time 👍 ....but what about Majoras mask?, I absolutly loved that game !

I think I personally re-named that game Dog & Duck Shoot as I use to shoot the dogs that ran onto the screen too.
